MAGAZINE PENCIL Filed July 28 1930 5. plunger mechanism for advancing or w th- I r ceiving Patented Mar. 8, 1932 Es PATENT oFFicE ROY LEO GQEBEL, OF WACO, TEXAS Application filed July 28,

' This invention appertains to magazine for containlng pencils including a a number of leads, means for MAGAZINE PENCIL I r the type of successively feeding the leads into usable position, anda drawing the lead, as desired.

The invention provides a novel formand arrangement of magazme for the leads, a rematically, and a screw actuated moving the chamber intermediate the magazine andpencil opening and in. communication with each, a feeder in the receiv adapted to be operatedimanually or auto-'- ing chamber plunger for lead in the pencil opening. and

adapted, if desired, to actuate the feeder. Y 1 While the drawingsillustrate' a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is 'to be un-' derstood that in adapting the means specific needs and requirements,

be. varied and changes in the minor de-T may the design tails of construction may be resorted towithin the scope of the invention and the merits thereof, referenceis to be had,

as claimed,

' without departing from the spirit thereof.

For a full understanding of the invention to the following description and the drawings hereto attached, in which: a

The pencil holder includesa core 1 and casing 2, the latterbeingpreferably of metal Whereas the core'l may be of any suitable ma- Y terial best adapted for, thepurposeL ,The pencil opening 3 is disposed axially ofthe holder and constitutes a pass age for the to meet 1930. Serial no. 471,252.

leads 4. A magazine 5 isformed at the butt 'end of the holder and is adapted to receive a number of leads 4. The bottom 6 of the magazin'e 5 inclines throughout its length to automatically direct the leads 4 toward the delivery end'of {the magazine. The receiving chamber? is disposed intermediate the pencil opening v8 and the magazine 5 and is in communication: with each to receive a lead; 3 from the magazine and to deliver said lead to the pencil opening 3. A guide 8 communicates with the deliveryend of the magazine 5 and isinline with the receiving chamber 7 The guide ,8 consi'stsof a short tube having a;

sideporti'on cut awayto form a tapering wall which is presented to the pencil opening. The upper end of the guide 8 is flush with the inclined bottom 6 of the magazine 'soas not to obstruct the movement of the leads 3 A slot 9 leads outwardly from the receiv- 7 ng chamber 7 and receives a pin 10 projectlng laterallyifrom the feeder and forming a finger piece. An opening extends from the lower end of the receiving chamber 7 and'itsv outer wall 11 is inclined for the lower end 12 of the feeder to ride upon. The outer wall of the receiving chamber 7 is depressed as indicated at 13, and this depression is curved and coacts witha curved portion 14 of the-'- feeder to eifectlateral movement of the latter as the feeder moves upwardlyin thechamber 7. Theinner side of the chamber 7 is in com 'munication' throughout its length with the pencil opening 3 to provide an unobstructed? passage of the leads from the chamber 7 into theopening3. f J f The feeder includes a'tubular sleeve 15 and a spring leg-16, whichis curved in its length, a as indicated at 14, and has itslowerend in-c cline'd as shown at 12; A lip 17 projects laterally from the upper end of the tubular sleeve 15.and constitutes a stop to be engaged by the plunger for automatic operation of the feeder. Turning of the feeder is'prevented by the finger piece 10 operating in the slot 9. The tubular sleeve 15 is slidable on the guide 8 and; is retained in place thereby. V Normally, the feeder occupies aposition with its leg against the outer wall of the chamber ,7. I

The plunger 18 operates in the opening 3 and its upper end 19 is angular and its intermediate portion 20 threaded to match the threads of a sleeve 21 fixed in the upper portion of the opening 3. A clip 22 at the lower '5 end of the plunger 18 is adapted to grip the lead 4 occupying the opening 3. Longitudinal movement of the plunger 18 projects or Withdrawsthe lead in a manner; wle'llinriderstood inthe use of automatic pencils.

An opening 23 is formed in the butt of'the holder in line with the receinin-g end'of'j-the magazine 5. The leads 4 are supplied to the magazine through the opening 23.

A cap 24 is snugly fitted upon the butt portion of the holder and is"provided"with a' itheipennili opening, and a magazine for receiving a number of leads, said magazine -opening into the receiving chamber, a feeder centrally :disposed :tube..25 .which aextends some .ldistanceQinto. the ..upper; part; of .the .openingB.
